The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 740
After all, those who have died can still become Li Dalang's confidantes, and they will not be too young. Older ancient men are basically married.

That is to say, they are all sons, husbands, and fathers. As the saying goes, they are old and young, and they have to take care of their wives and children. In addition, when they die, they also involve a support for the elderly. question.

Ling Xiao has traveled through ancient times N times, and has long discovered that the social conditions in ancient times were deeply influenced by Zhou rituals, so according to ancient rules, the eldest son is generally responsible for taking care of his parents until the end of their lives.

It is precisely for this reason that the eldest son gets the largest share of the family property, but also has to bear more responsibilities and obligations, and is also responsible for supporting his parents until their death.

After the death of the old man, the eldest son is also responsible for leading relatives and friends to bury the old man. The most important point is that only the eldest son can throw basins for the elders. in an important position.

If the elders of a certain family don’t know what’s going on, they don’t want the eldest son to take care of them, but they want the children who are not the eldest son to take care of their parents, but this needs to be agreed between the parents and the children.

As for the other children, the girls are all married off, that is to say, they don’t need their daughters to support their parents for the elderly, they only need to give some gifts for the year. Although the remaining brothers don’t support their elders, they still need to give some money every year.

If the sons want to support the two old people until their death, they can get the family property, while the daughters don’t need to give to their parents, but they can’t get the family property. This is the ancient division of inheritance.

So here comes the problem, although as a dead man, he naturally cannot support his parents, and his children are still young, so they cannot take on the responsibility of supporting their grandparents.

But it does not mean that the person in this house has no obligation to support the elderly. According to the ancient rules, the wife of the deceased is still responsible for supporting the elderly. This is something to pay attention to.

EMMMMM!It will be a little more troublesome when it comes to support. In order to minimize the trouble, she can pick up the deceased's parents while picking up the deceased's wife and children, but the people who are taken care of and enjoy the benefits absolutely do not include anything brothers and sisters.

I'm afraid that the family will not agree, who made the ancient times belong to that kind of big family.The common people in ancient times basically did not have any contraceptive measures, which resulted in many children being born in succession. Even if a few died, the number of children was still quite large.

So here comes the problem. After the birth of more grandchildren, the family has not been separated. People in a big family are all crowded in one yard, and there will definitely be a lot of conflicts.

The reason why there is no separation of families is that because of the promotion of cattle farming technology in the previous dynasty, it began to advocate one thing: parents should not be separated. This statement has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people after the implementation. .

This has led to the fact that their family is a big family, and some of them are like eating from a big pot. In the same family, some people will be very diligent, while others will be very lazy.

It’s not that no one wants to separate. After all, they have been living in one place. They don’t eat well, wear clothes, and live well. There are often bumps and bumps. Naturally, they want to separate, but they can’t pass the hurdle of the elders. There is no separation.

But can Ling Xiao think on the side of their family?Of course not, she has to think about it for Yang Juan, how much money and energy will it take to take care of so many people who can't be treated as slaves at once?
That's why Ling Xiao said that method. If the old man wants to be supported, he can follow him. According to the rules, Yang Juan has to take care of the deceased's wife, children, and parents, but does not include the deceased's brothers and sisters.

If those people insist on following them in the name of supporting their parents, of course they can, but they have to separate the family and take care of themselves. They cannot use the pension of the deceased to subsidize the family.

After hearing Ling Xiao's thoughts, since there is a large family who wants to go with them, they also agreed to arrange their own lives after arriving in the place, so as not to worry their parents.

Naturally, there are also people who are hard to leave their homeland and are unwilling to leave. Ling Xiao will leave some property for the elderly who do not want to leave, which is equivalent to paying alimony in advance.

After that, the wives and children of the deceased who followed Ling Xiao did not have the obligation to support the parents of the deceased, unless all the brothers died, and it was the turn of the orphans and widows to support them.

No matter what the situation is, Ling Xiao will write down the whole situation and the amount of property given. These are all things to be recorded, and the beneficiary must sign.

If you don't sign it, the other party can beat it back if something happens in the future, as long as you have a signature.Of course, ordinary people do not have the opportunity to receive education. They may not be able to write their own names, but if they are not afraid, they can press their fingerprints.

If you don't sign and don't press your fingerprints, naturally you won't give any property at all.In addition to the confirmation of the parties concerned, the signatures and fingerprints of relevant witnesses are also required, so that no future troubles will be left for the deceased's wife and children.

The reason for doing this is because Ling Xiao knows that not every pair of parents loves their children, or that having too many sons is worthless, and many people spend most of their enthusiasm just to survive.

They didn't ask for the child specially, but they had to have it, and they raised the child casually after waiting for the child to be born, without any affection at all.

Although there is that kind of touching love between parents and children, some parents can give up everything for their children, but there is never a shortage of parents who treat their children as goods.

Why do you feel that some parents don't love the deceased? That's because military service is a kind of hard work, and many people never come back after going.

In this case, going to serve in the military is tantamount to giving up that child. Therefore, if there are several sons in a big family, the one who is sent to the army is often the one that is least favored.

The son is the one who is not favored, and his wife and children will also be despised. Ling Xiao doesn't want to be partial to his parents who keep sucking the blood of a son to support his most beloved child.

The most frightening thing is that his son is dead and he doesn't let him go. Even if his son is dead, isn't there still a daughter-in-law and a child?Totally disregarding that the people in the room without the pillars will live a harder life, and maybe continue to suck the blood of the unfavored grandchildren.

As for the daughter-in-law?It would be better if the daughter-in-law had children, but if there were no children to carry on the family line, the daughter-in-law would have absolutely no status in the family.

After knowing that the person serving in the military is dead, he will toss the daughter-in-law. Anyway, in the eyes of the family, the daughter-in-law is an outsider.You will only be at the bottom, and naturally you have to contribute to everyone. Although this kind of situation is rare, it does happen.

Some old people don't know why, but they like a certain child so much that they want to suck the blood of other children to their beloved son.Or he hates a certain child so much that he can't wait to peel the child's cramps.

Ling Xiao naturally knew this situation, and hated it deeply. The purpose of signing and fingerprinting was to prevent some selfish people from catching kind and honest people and bullying them violently.

This is the situation in later generations that squeezed one child to subsidize another child. It was more likely to exist in ancient times, and it would only be worse in ancient times.

The most terrifying thing is that if the family is not separated at all, the children who are family members have no private property at all, and private property is an industry that is not recognized by others.

If that child dared to buy property in private, he would definitely be cast aside by the people around him if it was exposed. Everyone would say: He is an unfilial son, and the parents can confiscate the so-called private property.

Of course, there are cases where the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die. Once the father beats the son to death, as long as the relationship between father and son is brought out, the father who kills the son is innocent.

If there is a dispute between father and son, the father will not be wrong. The mistake must belong to the son. If he dares to talk back, he is an unfilial son. If he dies, he will be splashed with dirty water.

In the era when filial piety was greater than the heavens, the younger generation had a hard time dealing with the elders, and everything they did was not too light or too heavy, and if there was trouble in the future, it would be very troublesome.

Ling Xiao will make corresponding preparations when he plans to pick up those family members. In order to prevent encountering such difficult people, he must be careful in order to prevent any troubles in the future.

She can help people with a conscience to tide over difficulties, and she won't even ask for something in return, but she will definitely not let some blood-sucking people keep sucking blood.

Besides Xiao He, the people who followed her on the road also included Yang Juan's soldiers. These people were all taught by Ling Xiao, and they all respected and feared Ling Xiao.

Although she is a woman, she is definitely not an ordinary woman. A woman who can't be beaten by a few big men is directly classified by them as an existence that is not easy to mess with.

Moreover, they knew Xiao He's name from the person in charge of the food, and these two women were so strong that they were in awe, so none of them thought about confronting Ling Xiao, and they were very obedient when they met her.

Ling Xiao was very satisfied when he found out. It’s good for his subordinates to be obedient, but he still needs to be careful. In case he meets someone who is good at acting, he is obedient and plays tricks secretly. There are such people, so you should be careful.

If you meet a guy who likes to make moths in your own actions, it will be absolutely disgusting.But Ling Xiao also knew that if someone wanted to play tricks, that person would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

For the time being, she didn't think about going back to see Huanlang and the others. They should be allowed to do some things, and they should not be allowed to do them. She was afraid that they would hit the south wall and not be able to come back.It is not terrible to suffer losses and be fooled. What is terrible is not to face up to the mistakes and make them again.

It felt like the young people in Xiaozhuangzi had grown up in the world after this incident, and one day they would be able to handle everything, so she didn't care at all, but spent all her time preparing to pick people up.

She first listed the residences of those family members, and after making some preparations, she went on the road. She also brought some ready-made clothes in different sizes.

Following her, she took this small group of people on the road, and some people were driving ox carts, because they had to carry tents, food, and belongings, and everyone couldn't carry them on horseback.

In order to cope with the militarization of all possible things, these people quickly adapted, and thus knew Ling Xiao's plan. These people were stunned and didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, filial piety occupies a large part of their education. Many people may not be able to read, but it has always been clear that they should not disobey their parents.

Ling Xiao could see the hesitation in their hearts. Maybe in their eyes, they should control everything. How could they do that? It was tantamount to a forced family separation?
She said lightly: "Maybe you think what I did was wrong, but have you ever thought about it, if such a big family is in charge, who will pay for this sum of money?

If there are other people to support, I am afraid that the Li family will not give the money. This is letting my sister use her own dowry to support her. Does it cost the same to support three or five people as it does to support dozens of people?
Some people may say yes, but if three or five people spend the same money as dozens of people, it's no wonder that they will live well!Let me tell you officially, if this is the case, the real beneficiaries may not even have enough to eat. "

As soon as this sentence came out, those people were stunned, because as long as he was not stupid, he would naturally know that what Ling Xiao said was right, the more people there were, the more money it would cost.

For example, if only five people spend the same sum of money, they may live well, but if thirty people spend the same money, they will live very poorly.

They are also married people, even if they don't know how the total price is, they naturally know that the more people spend more money, and this involves Yang Juan's dowry issue, they cannot make decisions for Yang Juan.

What Ling Xiao said made them unable to say anything. Ask yourself, if it is their turn to spend such money to support people, they will not be willing.

After some ideological education, Ling Xiao finally felt at ease, because he was afraid that if they didn't do a good job in their ideological work, wouldn't it be troublesome for them to make wishes blindly when they went to the place?

After vaccinating them, they went on the road. When they arrived at the place, Ling Xiao began to visit people. At this time, the family had received the last news of the deceased, and some people chose to stay and live with the extended family.

EMMMMM!Regarding this choice, Ling Xiao didn't do any ideological work either, she was just an outsider, and her family was willing to live together, what else could she do?
Ling Xiao didn't try to persuade him any more, and after looking at the situation, he found that the family was relatively kind, so he took out some of his belongings as some protection for the orphans and widows.

In order not to make other people jealous, she also took out some silver ornaments of poor quality, which were still relatively light and were not on the table. People never come back.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao also took out a paper roll, wrote all the property given on it, and asked those people to sign and press their fingerprints to prove that she did not embezzle the fee.

Just like this, there are people who are willing to go with the family, but Ling Xiao also made his request clear: you can follow, but you have to live your own life when you get to the place, and you can't disturb the peace of the deceased's wife and children.

Of course, because she still had to visit other people, she didn't let those people go with her, but let them start preparing first, and then take them away when Ling Xiao returned.

There are also large families who are not willing to let the deceased's wife and children go at all, because they feel that they have not squeezed enough.But their family had a miserable life, and now they look even more desperate. If Ling Xiao doesn't come here this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to save their lives in the future.

Seeing that Ling Xiao wanted to take someone away, the others were of course unwilling. They all asked for money outright. Seeing that Ling Xiao was well-dressed, he also took people to feel rich.

He wanted to catch Ling Xiao and blackmail him, but after being severely whipped by Ling Xiao a few times, he became a lot more honest. He didn't dare to roll on the ground, sit on the ground and yell, let alone move forward.

Ling Xiao just smiled when he looked at them, and this smile made those people feel a little weak in fright, ahhh!Who is that?Ling Xiao didn't say anything, and directly asked the deceased's wife and children to prepare to leave.

Then she took out another sum of money, which was not the money to buy someone, but the final gift from the deceased to the parents. After that, the people in their house would be separated directly, and they would no longer be responsible for the elderly's pension.

As soon as those people saw the money, they immediately felt that the pain on their bodies was much better. Ling Xiao explained to them what happened in the middle, and they would get the money if they signed it. If they didn't sign it, they wouldn't get a dime.

Of course the family was going to sign, and looking at the things they got, they wanted to become their own, so they didn't like each other, and they didn't care when Ling Xiao took people away.

The few people who were rescued were both surprised and happy. Ling Xiao found a place for the family to clean up their personal hygiene, and then disinfected it specially, waiting for the next person to use.

In this way, she visited the widows and children of those people one by one, and made a statistics of each family, and gradually reached the last few families, Ling Xiao did not go out to check the situation this time.

Instead, she sent someone to look at it. She felt that her sister's subordinates should learn a lot. Don't just practice their skills, but don't want to move their brains.

According to the information given by Yang Juan, Ling Xiao knew that the deceased had a son and a daughter, so she inquired in the village, and everyone praised him.Although the family was also very poor, the best things in the family were given to the two children.

After a while, the person who went to explore also came back and reported that the family, in his opinion, belonged to a more conscientious family, and other members of the extended family tried their best to take good care of their brother's children.

　Oh my God!In the past few days, I glanced at a certain TV series. There are three sisters in a family. The second sister went to jail for the crime of the eldest sister. Second sister.Afterwards, the elder sister regarded the second younger sister as a tool, and the second younger sister said after being tricked by the elder sister: That is my elder sister.

　　oh oh!I was full of discomfort watching it, and the most ridiculous thing is the ending: the elder sister has repented.

　　ha?seriously?
